E. Role of State Government State Governments are expected to play a more pro-active role in the effective working of DDRCs. In order to ensure greater involvement of State/District Administration, the State Government may suitably supplement the honorarium and other requirements of the DDRCs for undertaking their various activities in an effective manner. State Governments may authorized District Collectors in their capacity as Chairperson of DMT, to make minor modifications for effective functioning of DDRCs, considering the ground realities within the broad stipulation of the DDRC Scheme. State Government may also authorize the District Collectors to make interim advances out of the local funds placed at their disposal to tide over the difficulties caused in the field due to procedural delays in release of central funds. F. Districts identified and approved

• In the pre-revised scheme 199 DDRCs were approved for setting up in various districts of the country i.e. upto March, 2010. Out of which 185 are functional as per records available with this Department.

• 100 more DDRCs were approved for setting up during 2010-11 onwards. • 15 more DDRCs have been approved in 2012 for setting up in the worst affected by

JE/AES districts in the country (including 4 approved before 2010 but were not set up. • In all DDRCs have been approved for setting up in 310 districts.

G. Equipment i) Equipments required for functional DDRC The equipment for fabrication and fitment of assistive devices related to all kind of disabilities is to be purchased from this scheme. These equipments will range from Electric oven, workshop anvil, physiotherapy equipments, clinical audiometer, speech trainer, workshop tools and some teaching material for the MR children. Non-recurring expense of Rs.7.00 lakhs per DDRC in the first year has been earmarked for the same. Details of equipments are listed at Appendix II. These equipments can also be procured from the ALIMCO (Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India, Lucknow Road, Kanpur – an organization under the Department of Disability Affairs). ii) Raw Materials for fabrication of aids & assistive devices as well as prescribed appliances – for persons with disabilities The assistive devices and the material for fabrication of aids and appliances shall be supplied under the ADIP scheme of GOI. The DDRC should annually submit the proposals to the State Govt./UTs in the prescribed proforma along with utilization certificate, audited statement of expenditure, list of beneficiaries, details of aids and appliances procured, or distributed among persons with disabilities and calendar of activities through District Collector for availing grants under this scheme. Maintenance of Project Accounts by DDRC Funding of Honorarium to staff members of the DDRC and the requisite equipment for the DDRC is provided under the SIPDA/DDRS schemes while materials for fabrication and aids and

6 | P a g e Compilation – Saumen gupta http://innovationclustersarchive.nic.in/content/page/district-disability-rehabilitation-centers.php

Page 7: District Disability Rehabilitation Centre

appliances funds are provided under ADIP scheme, therefore separate accounts be maintained and submitted with the respective proposals. H. Training to Manpower of DDRCs in Coordination with State Govt. The staff of the NGO and DDRCs will be provided orientation and training though National Institutes (NIs) for capacity building so as to enable them to initiate activities as per the approved action plan. NIs would undertake the following training programmes in coordination with State Government:

• One day workshop of District collectors & State govt. officials – Sensitization to disabilities issues, Main Provisions of PWD Act, DDRC scheme and effective delivery through them, sharing of best practices.

• 3 day training for Nodal officers of Implementing agency & Social welfare officers: DDRC Scheme, processing of proposals under ADIP, DDRS etc., maintenance of accounts and other records, facilities, concessions & Schemes for Persons with Disabilities & and important referral addresses

• Up to 15 days in-service training for technical and professional manpower in DDRCs - focus especially on early intervention and follow up, New techniques of treatment & rehabilitation

• Special courses for in-service training courses, which include bridge courses for under-qualified manpower of DDRCs- for 6 months to 1 year sandwich programmes

• Workshop on Communication skills and preparation of educative material • Repairs & maintenance of aids & appliances for Technical staff, multipurpose workers • Exposure visits to CRC/ NIs and other DDRC

The training programmes would range from one to three day sensitization workshops to one week to 15 days refresher training to 1 year sandwich courses for improving the skills of under qualified manpower in DDRCs, while the participants could vary from Senior Govt. officials like Secretary/Directors/District Collectors to District welfare officers/nodal officer to professionals and other manpower deployed in DDRCs. The cost for training of manpower of DDRC would broadly be based as follows: In order to make up delay involved in the release of grants-in-aid under the scheme of Deendayal Disabled Rehabilitation Scheme, District Magistrate shall be competent to provide advance of salaries and office expenses to DDRCs from local resources at the beginning of each year or when there is some delay in release of grants in aid, which could be refunded on receipt of grant-in-aid from the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment of Government of India. However, under the General Financial Rules, funds in respect of expenditure incurred under respective scheme can be sanctioned for the past 24 months on the date of sanction. Within the broad framework of the DDRC Scheme, DDRCs run by NGOs shall be free in the matter of manpower selection as per the provision of the scheme and delegation of financial power to the implementing agency. In addition, minor modification in this Scheme to increase State ownership, effective functioning and streamlining the processing of grants-in-aid to DDRCs under State/District authorities shall be permissible.

I. Financial Arrangements A joint account of an Officer of State Government, nominated by District Magistrate as District Disability Rehabilitation Officer of district administration and implementing agency should be opened in the local bank for the receipt of grants. After initial 3/5 years, funds could be placed atthe disposal of implementing agency or continued in the joint account. The decision in this regard could be taken by DMT, based on the implementing agency identified for DDRCs. Proper account for the expenditure on supporting activities will be maintained by each implementing agency under the overall guidance & supervision of DDRO. In addition to the procedures already being followed for suitable account keeping, it must be ensured that: Each implementing agency will maintain a separate account for each of their District Centre. Nodal officers in each of the districts will submit half-yearly accounts on programme activities to the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, GOI, and. J. Action plan of DDRCs

• Action plan of DDRCs should broadly be as follows • Survey of the PwDs and their needs in the districts-10-15 villages per month • Assessment camps at HQ-Twice in a week; • At Civil hospital-once every week • Assessment cum distribution camps at villages-Twice a month • Awareness generation activities like visits to school/awareness camp in villages for various

target groups/training programme of grass root level functionaries-4 times a month. • Follow up camps in villages-4 times a month

Survey of persons with disabilities For initial planning, the details of district data on disabilities, if available, could be transferred to DDRCs viz data could be available with anganwadi workers/other grassroots level workers like ASHA about the disabled persons in each village. The implementing agency should use its discretion in selecting the best possible arrangement for collection of data. As the details of the survey are to be used for Management information system being designed, proforma given at Annexure II is to be used for collection of data. K. Assessment/Fitment/Follow-up and repair of assistive devices

Assessment/Fitment Actual fitment of assistive devices would be one of the major activities of District Centre. A blend of camp approach and institutional approach should be used in fitment of assistive devices. The expenditure on materials/assistive devices should be met out of ADIP Scheme. The implementing agency would be responsible for making exact arrangements and following proper procedure in account keeping, as per the ADIP Scheme. Following points may be noted for its implementation:

• The implementing agency must ensure precise assessment on the requirement of assistive devices:

• While the implementing agency provides the technical inputs, the organizational and logistics

8 | P a g e Compilation – Saumen gupta http://innovationclustersarchive.nic.in/content/page/district-disability-rehabilitation-centers.php

Page 9: District Disability Rehabilitation Centre

• All persons with disabilities should be assessed on the number and type of assistive devices required.

• Assessment may be done both on continuous basis through District Disability Rehabilitation Centre and at discreet points of time through the camp approach.

• This should be done in collaboration with Anganwadi Workers (AWWs), Health Workers,Parateachers NREGA, Panchayati Raj Institutions, Local NGOs and other grass-root level functionaries. Repair/follow up of assistive devices

• The implementing agency must ensure through rigorous follow-up of persons provided with assistive devices their proper & early repair.

• The district centre should provide for repair services, adjustment and follow-up of assistive devices. A nominal charge for repair of assistive devices should be charged, which can be different for different devices and types of repair.

• Persons with disabilities, who are provided assistive devices, should be categorically informed of the follow up/repair/training services available at the district centres.

• PwDs may also be provided training for effective & correct use of assistive devices and therapeutic services. They may also be given instructions in local language in the form of a pamphlet having sketches/pictures for use and upkeep of the device(s). L. Promotion of Prevention Prevention has been promoted through various National Health Programmes like programmes of Prevention of Blindness, Leprosy etc. as well as various Routine Immunization programmes like Pulse Polio etc. The orientation of these programmes needs to focus not only on prevention of mortality, but also on disability. The District Centres, therefore, need to modify the information dissemination on prevention to emphasize the linkage between Health Programmes & Schemes and prevention of disability. Lack of appropriate nutrition is also known to be a major factor causing disability. Studies indicate that iodine deficiency impairs brain development significantly. Various micronutrient deficiencies account for a large percentage of low birth weight in babies in India. The inadequate gestational weight gain in associated with poor mental and mortal development of surviving infants. Malnutrition during infancy and early childhood is believed to have adverse effects on both physical growth and intellectual performance in later life. Vitamin A deficiency is a major cause of blindness among children. Another important aspect of prevention of disability that needs to be disseminated through the District Centre is environmental sanitation and hygienic living conditions. For example, polluted water can cause growth of poliovirus leading to poliomyelitis resulting in flaccid paralysis. Similarly, unclean water causes Rota virus infection which results in diarrhea. Diarrhea is known to cause growth retardation. Flaccid paralysis can also be caused by insanitary conditions, which propagate the growth of poliomyelitis. Insanitary conditions are known to cause trachoma in eyes which can lead to blindness. Even leprosy can be caused by unsanitary conditions. Unhealthy

9 | P a g e Compilation – Saumen gupta http://innovationclustersarchive.nic.in/content/page/district-disability-rehabilitation-centers.php

Page 10: District Disability Rehabilitation Centre

and unhygienic food has been found to be cause of poliomyelitis. Thus, DDRCs need to synergize the inputs of Total Sanitation Campaign, Nirmal Gram & other such Central & State Programmes and Schemes on Sanitation with Prevention of Disability particularly School Sanitation Programmes. The District Centres need to collect and collate the information relating to different aspects of prevention of disabilities and disseminate information in the most suitable form and mode, depending on local conditions. The District Centres should, therefore, promote prevention by doing following:

• Converge the activities of AWWs, Health Workers, NGOs in promoting prevention; • Distribute and publicize the information available with the implementing agencies on prevention

and early intervention in local language. The material available with DRCs/National Institutes may be compiled/prepared within two months of launching of the Scheme.

• The implementing agency may undertake orientation of the grassroots level workers including ICDS workers, Health Workers, CBRWs with a focus on identification, prevention and early detection.

• The District Disability Rehabilitation Centre set up and functioning in the areas having high incidence of Japanese Encephalitis (JE)/Acute Encephalitis (AES) must have Multiple Disability Component from the National Institute for Empowerment of Persons with Multiple Disabilities, M/o Social Justice & Empowerment, East Road, Mullukadu, Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu. M. Early Intervention Early identification of disabilities and early intervention is very important for avoiding secondary disabilities and ensuring successful integration of children with disabilities with other children at all levels. Hence each DDRC must set up an early intervention unit. Parents of children with disabilities must be encouraged to visit these. In addition, low cost intervention using locally available material should be suggested to them for continuing the intervention at place of their residence. N. Barrier Free Environment

• Provision of barrier free environment is the second important compliment of assistive devices for providing accessibility to persons with disabilities;

• All new buildings, especially public sector and public utility e.g. schools and hostels, Panchayat and other Govt. buildings, hospitals, markets, bus stands, parks, public toilets are to be made barrier free, as per the standard bye-laws circulated by Ministry of Urban Affairs and Employment.

• The basic responsibility should be of the local governments. • Public buildings like Collectorate, District hospital, local bus stand, colleges and schools should

be converted into barrier free, to begin with.

10 | P a g e Compilation – Saumen gupta http://innovationclustersarchive.nic.in/content/page/district-disability-rehabilitation-centers.php

Page 11: District Disability Rehabilitation Centre

• The financial support for Conversion of the buildings into barrier free may be met out of local government funds and/or MPLADS.

• District Centres must be able to provide technical support to implementing agencies. O. Promoting Education/Vocational Training/Placement Education, training and employment are important components of rehabilitation.

• The implementing agency should organize orientation-training programme for teachers/communities/families.

• They may also provide information on suitable vocations, possible job placements and other facilities like soft credit through NHFDC, vocational training through VRCs etc.

• At least one orientation programme of 3 days to a week should be held once in 6 months. P. Progress reports

• Monitoring & Evaluation of the implementation of the programme for establishing District Centres would be done in terms of the activities enlisted above and the targets laid down for them.

• Annual Progress Report with action plan for the next financial year will be sent to Joint Secretary in the Disability Division of the Department of Disability Affairs, Min. of SJ&E. Appendix III.

• Ministry of SJ&E will get functioning of these District Centres evaluated by external agency on sample basis every year.
